Challenge
The situation on site
Joined immediately after piling was complete — as sole site
engineer alongside the project manager. The project combined a
hybrid RC and structural steel structure with complex aluminium
and glass façades, multiple skylight systems, steel canopies, full
MEP fit-out and high-end interior finishing across a large
commercial footprint. All trades were running simultaneously: at
peak, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire fighting, gypsum board,
aluminium, interlock, painting, snagging and consultant handover
inspections were all active at once, with 80–150 workers on site
daily. Delivering a clean, inspection-ready handover — with zero
open NCRs — required strict sequencing, documentation discipline
and constant multi-trade coordination.
Role & Actions
What I specifically did
01
Daily supervision of structural, architectural and MEP works
— ensuring all activities followed approved drawings, method
statements and specifications from piling completion to final
handover.
02
Managed RFIs, WIRs and MIRs with the consultant — ensuring
every inspection was carried out and approved before
subsequent activities proceeded. Closed 32 NCRs at handover
with zero remaining open.
03
Coordinated RC and structural steel interfaces, aluminium
& glass façades, skylights and steel canopies — resolving
clashes and raising RFIs for missing or unclear details before
they hit the site.
04
Supervised installation of 1,092 solar panels across the
shading system — generating approximately 52% of the
facility's total energy needs. Coordinated structural
supports, electrical connections and approvals.
05
Coordinated external works including sanitary drainage
networks, inspection chambers, manholes and stormwater
drainage systems across large external yards and parking
areas.
06
Prepared weekly look-ahead plans with the project team —
keeping critical activities, material deliveries and handover
milestones tracked and visible across all active trades
simultaneously.
07
Reviewed shop drawings and coordinated MEP, façade and
structural interfaces — managing technical submissions and
consultant approvals for all major systems throughout the
project.
08
Enabled a partial early handover to the owner while remaining
works continued in parallel on other parts of the site —
demonstrating controlled sequencing and zone management under
live conditions.
Key Deliveries
What was delivered
Full project delivery — piling to handover
Sole site engineer on an AED 50M commercial flagship, managing
80–150 workers daily across 10+ simultaneous trades from
structural start through to final handover.
32 NCRs closed — zero open at handover
Full QA/QC compliance maintained across the project. All
non-conformance reports tracked, actioned and closed before
handover — nothing left outstanding.
1,092 solar panels coordinated & installed
Coordinated the full solar shading system — 1,092 panels
generating approximately 52% of the facility's energy needs —
including structural supports, cabling and authority
approvals.
Partial early handover delivered
Planned and executed zone sequencing to allow partial early
handover to the owner while remaining works continued in
parallel — protecting the client's operations without
compromising quality.
